Dear Smith Family,

I just wanted to say that I am very sorry for Mallory"s passing and that I am praying for your family. I was just looking through the websites that we go to the most and I stubbled apon this and was just looking around. Mallory is in a WAY better place than us and I am very happy for her. Even though I don"t know all of your family to well and never really got to see mallory or talk to her I just wanted to say sorry and that your family will be in my prayers.

The tribute from CHOA is just awesome. Those doctors and nurses are such angels sent from God to take care of our sick children. I love the badge that says Mallory is a nurse!  I have told Lisa many times that she and Mallory probably qualified to work in the medical field with all the hospital visits they endured. 

The poem is so wonderful.  Mallory was such a wonderfully strong person and you didn"t have to look far to see where it came from.  Mike and Lisa are such wonderful people and parents and we have all admired your courage through all of this. 

I will still continue to pray for the Smith family to find peace and comfort.

Lisa Lawrence

The tribute to Mallory by CHOA was AWESOME!! Just another example of just how Mallory touched everyone she came in contact with. I"m so honored and blessed to have known her.

I miss you sweet angel, but I know without a doubt we will see each other again. Until then I"m going to take care of your sweet Mama the best I can. I promised you i would....

Love you Mallory, forever and always.

"When you thought I was not looking" is a wonderful tribute to Lisa and Mike.  As parents they raised an amazing and truly inspirational daughter.  Mallory has made me think about choices I have made, choices I am going to make and the faith I will not be making the decisions alone.  I saw the pain everyone was in at Mallory"s funeral however I also saw the half smiles on the faces as they watched the pictures of Mallory.  

Hugs to the Smith Family and to Joe.

Mallory, you were so loved because you could love

Mallory,

I miss you...but not too much, because I keep reminding myself how lucky you are right now to be in a better place.  <3

What a tribute to you Mallory that people accepted Jesus after seeing your testimony. I"m sure you have brought many more people to God and will continue to affect people"s hearts and minds for a long time to come. You were right when you said God gave this journey to you for a reason. So many people would have turned bitter and felt sorry for themselves. You used it wisely and did in your short life what we as Christians are put her on earth to do...turn others to God.

You are such an inspiration. I think of you constantly and miss your sweet face. Save a dance (or cheer) in heaven for me.

Lisa Lawrence

What a blessing, Lisa!  Mallory is awesome and she will always be with us.  She truely does have the best seat in the house, with JESUS and no longer in pain.  I pray for you everyday because you are the BEST MOMMY and I know how much you miss her.  I love and miss Mallory very much!

I love you!

Angela Millen

I think and pray for your family daily.  I pray our Lord and precious Saviour will sustain you and fill you with His mercy and grace and comfort your heart.  What a beautiful testimony Mallory has and a true inspiration!

I still come here everyday and yet I just noticed that you placed the day the journey ended, and that broke my heart.  I can not imagine how you all must feel.  Please know that I am praying for you all, praying that God"s understanding and love will help you during the dark times.  I wish I could say something that would make you all feel better, but I know there are no words.  Mallory was such a amazing, sweet, and beautiful girl, and  I am so sorry for your loss...

     Even though I didn"t know you, I feel as if I did thur your aunt Martha, am sad at your short young life here on earth but we know you are in a better place and our sorror is now for those left behind, our prayers are now for them also.

Lisa, Mike and Michael,

Just wanted you to know that you are the best mommy, daddy and brother and Mallory is always with you! I love you all! Mallory will always be in our hearts and my HERO!  She was and is truely an ANGEL!

Angela Mitchell-Millen

Continued prayers to you all... remember in Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." Hoping you can feel the Lord"s loving arms around you to comfort and carry you through this, one day at a time, until the day you will be reunited in Heaven. We miss you Mal! Love, Laura T

Thinking of you this morning!  Praying God wraps you in his loving arms and comforts you.

Hi Lisa,

You and your family are constantly in my thoughts everyday, I am so glad you have a great support system. I spoke to Kendal the other night and we were reminded of the ""Gunold Days" and the goodtimes we had back then. The Christamas parties and our Karoke singing, our duet from "Grease".. Try not to laugh. We still remember Mallory and Michael when you brought them to work,that shy little girl that was always stuck to her momma like glue. Should you need anything we are here for you and the family.

Cindy

Lisa-  I know that you are so very proud of your beautiful daughter. I know how very much you miss her. God somehow knit my heart with your family over the past four years... I knew a bit of what she was going through and I could also identify with your mama heart.  Over, the past four years there has not been a day that God did not bring your girl to my mind.  Truly, one of the most beautiful girls inside and out that I have ever known. 

PS The 17 year old son of a dear friend of mine went to be with Jesus the same day that Mallory did, just a few hours earlier.  His name was James Eunice and also a very special young person who loved the Lord.  I could not help but feel comforted that he was there to welcome Mallory home!

I love you,

Jeannie Fuller

Not a day goes by that I don"t think of sweet Mallory and all of you.  Our lives are forever enriched by knowing her.  Through her faith she showed all of us God"s love. What an amazing young woman!  I pray my daughter"s grow up to be just like her.  What a gift that would be!  We will continue to pray for all of you.

God bless,

The Whitfield"s

Lisa and family, it sounds like you are doing as well as you can be doing. So, glad you have such a wonderful support system! Mallory was no doubt a great young lady because she was a reflection of her parents and family! Take care! Jamie

Lisa, Mike, Michael, and Angela (Baby Dierks)-

Just wanted you guys to know that I am thinking and praying for you all.  I know that there is not much I can say to make you feel better except that I love you all and know that God is holding you in his arms right now.  Times like these, I always refer to the "Footprints" poem.  Right now there is only one set of tracks in the sand...

WOW...The Smith family is so strong and what remarkable young sweet daughter you have that is dancing above with our glorious "GOD".  I will continue to pray for strength and easier days ahead for your family.  What an awesome story you have told as well as inspiring and living life to the fullest, boy that what"s Mallory sure did.  This inspire"s me.

Still praying for you guys. I think it is so wonderful that Mallory was so special that her journey has touched and inspired so many people. I did not know her personally but she has given me a more inspired look on my life. I just can"t be negative and have doubts anymore about life, hearing and reading about Mallory"s story makes me proud to be in the same family as a woman this special and inspiring. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and sorrow you and Mike are going through. Our prayers will continue to be with you through this and we will be here for you guys.

I don"t even know where to begin. My family and I met Mallory in March 2009 when our son, Alex received his liver transplant. He did very well and Mallory was in Egleston with a virus and she wanted to meet him because his recovery had been so remarkable. That is when we met Mallory and her mother. To say Mallory was an amazing young woman would be an understatement. Despite everything that she had endured, she kept her faith so strong and she accepted God"s will for her life. We  have been so inspired by her faith and trust in God - what a legacy she has left.

Alex would run into her seveal times at the transplant clinic and they would talk. They were Facebook friends as well. I would keep up with her through Team Mal journal. I had not read the journal since the middle of November as my husband and I moved to Florida and were dealing with all that. I was complelled to read her journal today and was shocked to find out that Mallory had passed away. I broke down and then began to read the journey that you all have been on since November. My prayers have always been with you and will continue. Mallory was an amazing woman and she truly touched our lives. Thank you Mallory for your strong faith. We will meet you again someday in heaven.

Mallory is my hero.  In 22 years you accomplished more that most of us will in our lifetime.  You have inspired me to work harder to make a difference in this world.  I will depend on you to keep and eye out for me as you are much more focused that I am and keep me pointed in the right direction.

Miss Lisa,

I hope  you will have time in the near future to go to lunch with me and mom.  I begin everyday  praying for you and your family. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you but I do know that you are walking in the light of god and he has many many plans for you.

Bailey Bush

Oh Lisa I know you miss your little butterfly so much. I can"t even imagine what you are going through. I just hope each day that passes brings a little less pain and that God will comfort you in His loving arms.

We love you and pray for you every day.

Lisa

This is so difficult.  I miss my sweet girl so much.  God, please help me get through this!  Fly high my sweet Mallory, fly high. 

Just when the caterpillar thought his world had ended, he became a butterfly. 

Hey Aunt Lisa,

I miss Mallory so much!!!!! I love y"all!!!!!

                                                 Love, Cynthia

My heart is so heavy for all of you right now. I just want to say that I am praying for all of you. When God took Jerry from us so suddenly I didn"t think I could think straight, much less, go on. But, I realized ---after time--- that HE has a reason for everything under heaven. And I had to come to accept it. I didn"t have to like it, but I had to accept it. Now I praise Him with everything I have in me, because I know that He is building His army to come back and He wants His best and strongest to come back with Him....

Lisa, I love you and Mike. I would lift the burden if I could, but only Jesus can see you through. And knowing that you are leaning on His Everlasting Arms is the Best way to do it makes it a whole lot better.

Your Mom, Kitty, is precious to me too. I am so glad that she and Robert were able to be there with you. She loves you so very much. She would do anything for either one of her girls. I guess you know that by now.....

Mallory was truely blessed to have such amazing parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. That is why she was such an amazingly beautiful, strong, faithful, devoted, joyful, loving young christian lady filled with such bubbly laughter that made the whole world want to sing. She made me smile every time I logged on and saw that she was on facebook, because of her awesome strength. I don"t think I ever heard her complain about what she was going through. However, she didn"t like prednisone. THAT, I DO remember!!!

Thank you for sharing Mallory with us. We are all so very blessed for it.......  All my hugs and kisses.... Ann

We miss our sweet Mallory and her beautiful smile....but we will see her again one day.  God Bless you my Lisa, Mike, Michael and Angela.  We miss being there with you all.  Just take one day at a time and remember the good times you had with Mallory.  Mallory"s testament will live on forever.  There are many families who have lost love ones and didn"t know that their loved ones were saved, but we don"t have to worry about that with our Mallory.  She is dancing in Heaven with Jesus.

Love you,

Maw Maw and Robert

Mike, Lisa & Michael,

 Our thoughts and prayers still for you.

Johnny.
